Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- Canola oil, for frying
- 2 green plantains, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons diced onions
- 2 tablespoons diced green bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon tomato puree
- 2 tablespoons shrimp stock or fish fumet
- 12 shrimp, size 41/50
- 1/2 leaf fresh culantro, minced
Instructions
- Cook's Note: If culantro is unavailable, substitute with fresh cilantro.
- Heat oil to 350 degrees F.
- Fry the plantains for about 3 minutes, and then remove and let rest for 1 minute.
- Press down the fried plantains to 1/4-inch thick with a flat clever or other flat object, and then refry until golden and crunchy.
- Mash the whole garlic clove in a mortar. Add 10 plantain chips, the vinegar, 1 tablespoon canola oil, and a pinch of salt and black pepper and mash until you reach a soft silky consistency. Roll the mixture into a ball to create the Mofongo ball.
- Saute the onions, peppers and tomatoes over medium-high heat for 3 minutes, and then add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Pour in the tomato puree and cook for about 1 minute. Add the shrimp stock, shrimp and a dash of salt and black pepper and continue cooking until the shrimp is pink, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and fold in the culantro.
- Serve the Mofongo ball in the sauce with the shrimp and remaining plantain chips.
